A 14-year-old rape victim has died during childbirth in Paraguay, where abortion is forbidden unless giving birth threatens the life of the mother.

Her baby is stable but relying on a breathing machine, the medical team told the Guardian. The girl, who has not been named, had been hospitalized for 20 days because of pregnancy complications when she went into labor.

A 37-year-old man who raped and impregnated the girl was arrested on Thursday, according to Ricardo González Borgne, the head of the the National Secretariat for Children and Adolescents (SNNA).

Doctors attempted to deliver the baby vaginally until the young mother had a respiratory complication. They were attempting an emergency caesarean section when the girl suffered an embolism, three cardiac arrests and then died.

2. Oh look, giving birth threatened her life!

Too bad she had to die for them to realize that. Legal abortion is safer and has better outcomes for women than full-term pregnancy.

5. She wasn't even a woman

She was a fourteen year old teenager

11. So, is her rapist being charged with MURDER?

I'm guessing not.

[CatMor]

17. I hope he is charged with murder....

this whole tragedy breaks my heart. What that child went through is horrible and could have been avoided.

16. "Her body was not ready for a pregnancy,"

“It was very sudden. They attempted advanced resuscitation in intensive care, but we could not save her. Her body was not ready for a pregnancy,” Hernán Martínez, the director of the National Hospital of Itauguá, told local media.

Yet she was forced to carry and die attempting to deliver her rapists baby.

[malaise]

18. Precisely

I'm so angry

[Ohiogal]

19. This cruelty just makes me want to scream!

[Laffy Kat]

20. As far as I'm concerned the Paraguayan government killed this little girl.

I hope it backfires in their righteous faces. So livid I can't see straight.

[malaise]

21. That is who killed her

along with doctors who don't stand up to these political opportunists and the Catholic church.

[Submariner]

22. No..it's the fault of the Roman Catholic Church of Child Fucking Rape that is responsible

as long as people keep believing this stupid god horseshit coming out of these religious super-cults, people will keep dying like this.

What a waste and horrible unnecessary death.

[Laffy Kat]

23. Yes! nt

24. Poor little thing. One life traded for another,

and she had no say. Fingers crossed that her baby, another innocent victim in all this, will have a good life.
